Provenance

Where it came from

Creature Bond was originally printed in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield to capture the flavor of enchanting a creature to share its vitality with the caster. The artwork for the original iteration was created by Quinton Hoover, whose distinct, painterly style helped establish the early aesthetic of the game during its inception at Wizards of the Coast.

The 30th Anniversary Edition version, released in 2022, serves as a non-tournament legal celebration of the game's history. It reproduces the original card design, including Hoover's classic illustration and the vintage frame, to allow collectors to experience the aesthetic of the 1993 base set. This specific release was intended as a high-end commemorative product for long-term players and hobbyists interested in the evolution of Magic's visual identity over three decades.
